I have an Acer easystore h340. My server skill is virtually nothing. I am well versed in PC's but this is new to me.
I have had it for several years and started having errors saying a drive was dying. I put a new drive in and tried to take the old drive out and was unable to take it out.
Then one day none of the HD lights were on and I could not connect to it.
Eventually I just used the recovery CD.
It went through recovery, writing to the server and I could see the Lan Port working (lights).
It then tried to find the server after rebooting it and install windows home server connector and could not find the server. There is no no Lan lights and no traffic going through the router. I have a lot of data I would like to recover and am at my wits end.
Can someone please help me?
If it helps, I have a version of WHS 2011 if there is a way of installing it and keeping data or if it might help with this issue.
Thanks ahead of time.
Scott
